University of Washington School of Law

The following University of Washington School of Law students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America. These fellowships are made possible by contributions from University of Washington law alumni. With continued support from the alumni, we look forward to putting many more University of Washington law students to work providing vitally needed legal assistance to the poor.

"I have had the amazing opportunity to do outreach work in rural Georgia through the Southern Poverty Law Center. Many poultry and farm workers live in these towns and face, not only racism, but the constant threat of immigration raids and abuse at work."

Equal Justice America’s fellowship program allowed me to join NWIRP’s Seattle office during the summer of 2016. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have worked with, and learned from, remarkable clients and staff attorneys. I have broadened my understanding of asylum and immigration law, even as I have seen how legal services can transform people’s lives in positive ways. My experience at NWIRP has affirmed my commitment to a career in public interest law.
